But the one who angered him was the princess, someone he couldn't afford to offend. He could only sulk. On his way back, he ran into two people who weren't accompanied by servants, and he vented his anger on Guo Shu and his colleagues.
"Who are you people, daring to wander around like this?"
Guo Shu and his colleague were both completely baffled. There was no rule saying who wasn't allowed to come here! Besides, who was this person?
Guo Shu: "Who are you?"
Burigude looked at the two people in front of him, both dressed as Manchus, and felt angry.
"Buhe, they're in the way."
Buhe hesitated. This was not a tribe under the jurisdiction of the Borjigit clan. Would it be inappropriate to treat the people of the Qing Dynasty so casually?
"Master, are they people from the Qing Dynasty?"
It was precisely because they were people of the Qing Dynasty that Burigude was so angry.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just do what I tell you to do."
Guo Shu and his colleagues did not look too good.
His colleague Chen Xunzhi spoke up, "What do you mean?"
Guo Shu frowned as well: "We are officials of the Great Qing Dynasty."
The meaning is also very clear: they are not slaves who can be killed at will, and he has no right to do anything to them.
Burigud sneered, "There's no one here. I'd like to see if anyone dares to tell anyone that I'm going to beat you all up today."
Burigude was used to being arrogant. The Borjigit clan was a relatively prosperous tribe in Mongolia, and he was favored. It was common for him to beat and kill his servants. He did everything according to his own ideas.
Guo Shu also sensed that something was wrong. This person wouldn't listen to reason. Guo Shu preferred dealing with intelligent people and disliked dealing with fools because they wouldn't understand what you were saying.
Guo Shu could only speak more bluntly. He knew that if the person in front of him really did something to them, they wouldn't get away with it afterward. But the premise was that they could escape from this person's clutches safely.
"I can tell you're of noble birth, so you must be a Mongol. Now that the Emperor is in the Mongol camp, he wants to be on good terms with the Qing. If you punish the Qing officials, the Emperor will lose face no matter what. Even if you get away with it, you'll definitely get a scolding and punishment. Do you think it's worth it for the sake of two insignificant people like us?"
It's really not worth it, but he's in a bad mood today and doesn't have the mind to think about it that much.
"I don't care about you, let me vent my anger first before we talk."
"Buhe, why aren't you making a move?"
"Yes, Master."
Guo Shu hadn't expected this person to be so stubborn and unwilling to listen to advice. It was such a waste of his breath; all that he had said was for nothing.
Guo Shu planned to pull Chen Xunzhi towards a populated area, but before they could even start running, they heard a voice: "Stop."
Guo Shu turned her head and saw Bei Bei.
Burigude also saw Beibei, and his mood worsened, but he still dismounted and greeted her.
Seeing this, Beibei asked, "What happened?"
Buhe spoke up, "Princess, these two people were blocking the way, and I was just reminding them to make way."
Beibei: "Do you think I'm blind? Do I need to use a whip to remind you? Should I ask the Prince about the rules you set?"
Buhe: "Your servant...your servant..."
Beibei looked at Burigude and said unhappily, "Is this how you treat officials of my Great Qing? Who gave you the audacity?"
Is a prince's son with no official title and status considered someone important?
Burigude knew he couldn't win an argument with her. He was in the wrong to begin with, but the key issue was that Mongolia needed the Qing Dynasty's help. He had offended the Qing Dynasty's most favored princess, and if his father found out, he would definitely get a scolding, and he might even lose favor.
“Princess, today’s events were due to the recklessness of my men. Buhe, apologize to the two lords.”
Buhe felt extremely wronged, but he still had to apologize.
Buhe: "My lords, it was all my fault today. Please forgive me this time."
Beibei looked at Guo Shu and the other person and asked, "Do you think we should forgive them?"
Guo Shu looked at Bu He and said, "It's fine if the princess makes the decision."
Beibei looked at Buhe and said, "Since you made a mistake, then go and receive your punishment. Insubordination deserves the full punishment."
Chen Xunzhi, who was next to Guo Shu, was startled and moved closer to Guo Shu.
Burigude left angrily at this moment.
Beibei looked at Guo Shu and the other person, and said with a smile, "Do you think this princess is heartless?"
Chen Xunzhi remained silent, but Guo Shu spoke up, saying, "The princess is too kind."
Beibei nodded and said, "That's right. I also think I've been too lenient. They bullied you and offended the dignity of the Qing Dynasty. No punishment is too much. You're quite good. What's your name?"
Guo Shu's heart was beating a little fast: "This servant's name is Guo Shu."
Beibei smiled and said, "Guo Shu, not bad, it's a good name. You can go back now."
He said he wanted Beibei and then left.
After Beibei left, Chen Xunzhi exclaimed, "The princess has such a powerful aura that I hardly dared to say anything."
Guo Shu glanced at him, and dared not speak when she saw the princess. What if she was questioned by the emperor later?
"We really owe a lot to the princess today, don't you think, Brother Guo?"
Guo Shu nodded: "Indeed, we owe it all to the princess. Otherwise, I would have been running myself ragged today."
On the other side, Hongye asked, "Why is the princess talking to that man?"
Beibei deliberately said, "It's nothing, I just think he's good-looking."
Hongye was startled: "Princess?"
